I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Biostatistics in the University of Alabama at Birmingham. I also hold a secondary appointment at the Department of Biomedical Informatics and Data Science. Before joining UAB, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Biostatistics in the University of Michigan where I worked with Dr Veera Baladandayuthapani. I graduated from the Department of Statistics at Texas A&M University under supervision of Dr Anirban Bhattacharya and Dr Debdeep Pati in 2020. Here is my CV.
My research interests are
Methodological
Bayesian Graphical modeling,
Bayesian Computation on Non-standard manifolds,
Bayesian Hierarchical Modeling,
Variational Bayes,
Applications
Spatial Transcriptomics,
Single cell sequencing data analysis,
Cancer,
Neuro and cancer imaging.
